Police Hunt For Man Who Robbed Hotel

April 3, 1986

TITUSVILLE — Police were searching Wednesday for a gunman who robbed a Titusville hotel after asking for change.

A man entered the Ramada Inn, 3500 Cheney Highway, about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday and asked the clerk to change a bill. When the clerk opened the cash register, the man pointed an automatic pistol and demanded money.

He fled with an unknown amount of cash, police said.

Police described the gunman as a white male, 6-foot-3, in his early 20s, with shoulder-length blond hair and a beard. He was wearing a red shirt, blue jeans, tennis shoes and a red baseball cap.

It was the third pre-dawn holdup in as many days. Two Titusville gas stations were robbed.
